In this week's blog we look at how the Tribute performs for a family that is considering entering the motorhome market. We took the "Diaz" family, Mum Reina, Dad Tomas, Son Leo (11) and Daughter Sol (8) to Camp Bestival in Dorset for 4 days of family festival fun.

Elddis has released details on its 2017 season open weekend, set to take place at the company's headquarters in County Durham on the weekend of 17 and 18 September 2016.

Similar to other years, the Open Weekend event will see Elddis open its doors to the public to offer a unique insight into the design and production of its multi-award-winning caravan and motorhome ranges. The Open Weekend will also not only give the opportunity to see how and where Elddis, Compass, Xplore and Buccaneer models are built, but will also enable visitors to gain an exclusive view of the all-new 2017 season ranges, whilst offering some excellent deals on the day for those on the lookout for a new caravan or motorhome, including a special event package worth up to £1,195.

Aside from allowing you to gain a sneak peek at Elddis' 2017 ranges, a series of events are also lined up for the Open Weekend, including an exclusive factory tour and the opportunity to meet families who have recently started caravanning and motorhoming for the first time, as well as representatives of the UK's two largest membership organisations, The Caravan Club and The Camping and Caravanning Club. If towing or manoeuvring isn't your thing, experts will also be on hand to put you through your paces and alleviate any issues you might have too!
